I didn't watch this morning's game, but I thought he has played pretty well overall (for his standards). He definitely wasn't a direct liability in the other two games, so that's an improvement.

No, it wasn't. Carlson was caught out of position, watch it again.that's weird because that datsyuk goal was kind of entirely his fault

Carlson.Yes it was.. It is amazing how well the USA forwards have covered up for his puck movement so far. They have the skill to take his passes and also keep it moving out of the zone.
Yeah, he was bad there along with Carlson. I see being at blame for one goal in two games as a massive improvement.
He's definitely played better in the Olympics than he has this season in Pittsburgh that's for sure.
Seemed like the announcers thought the Datsyuk goal was more on Carlson. I thought Orpik would be even more horrendous on the bigger ice but surprisingly he's looked better on the bigger ice than he has on the NHL rink this season, imo.
Orpik has been playing half speed lackadaisical hockey for most of the season. But when he turns it on, Olympics and hopefully the rest of the season, he's a much better player, verging on solid physical 2nd pairing guy IMO. That's assuming his partner is a good puck mover who can help insulate him.
I know it hurts to watch him sleepwalk through most of a season, but he most likely will be there for us when it counts.
